That happens, and is so few and far between that most of the other males would not notice.

The woman interested in doing that also has men of other races to choose from and the same preferential hierarchy plays out, let alone the numbers.

If I'm a woman who's a 6, and I'm trying to get a man who's an 8, why do I care if the other males notice?

And, sure I have other races to choose from, but if I do, I'm going to get a man who's a 6.

If there was an objective score for attractiveness then women would rate men of the same race +1 higher than the objective rating. There are probably more men of the preferred race at 7 than there are men at 8 for all races.

I don't know what point you are trying to make. I said everything that was relevant.

If your numbering system introduced only now in this reply is regarding physical attractiveness, then women don't have this issue in their own race.

The point is that this doesn't help asian men because it barely makes a dent in the pool of asian men that would ever be exposed to a women with this predilection, as her pool is so much larger and also includes asian men. Even if her pool only included asian men in this strategy, from the perspective of the men, nothing has changed because the odds they will be exposed to it are slim.

My reply is only about the men's UX, not your "arbitrage" from the woman's UX.

If you look at it only from the man's perspective, then it may not make much difference. If you look at it from the woman's, though, it may make a difference to her.

If you can't look at it from her point of view, I don't know how to make my statements make any sense to you.

The answer is yes, her pool is broader. Maybe if you keep repeating it non-asian women will start matching with you.

I'm not asian. I'm married, and happily, so don't think I'm saying this because it affects me one way or the other.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but we seem to continually be talking past each other. I'm tired of it, so I'm out.

I think you’re out of touch then. I see what perspective you are trying to make happen, its not very relevant. The answer was “yes”, three times now. You are trying to make this other Hallmark fanfiction happen thats just isn't the worth entertaining.

>why do I care if the other males notice

This is how I can tell you're not a woman.
